18th March: Mark Huang
He hails from Woo Taipei, a classy joint with an unpretentious vibe. Order the Old Saint, a heady mix of Remy VSOP, bitters and blueberry shrub.

19th March: Hiroyasu Kayama
His 15-seater joint (Bar Benfiddich) from Tokyo is perpetually crowded. Take this opportunity to meet him and have a drink. As long as you appreciate a strong cocktail that’s bit bitter. He’s a bit of a mad scientist who loves wormwood and absinthe.

Nothing’s better than beer pong, a man-sized Jenga tower and Monkey Shoulder shots.
